I can’t see the comments you linked, but do see the other comments regarding data shuffle. My point still stands. Needlessly complicated. This could be updated if the state managed itself properly.
You didn’t miss anything, everybody is giving them a pass because they have an old mainframe and until you’ve had to sync one you just don’t know. We all know the reason the government is still using mainframes from the 70s. You mean to tell me there’s no company that’s ever migrated away from a mainframe? It’s always a budget issue. And in the US anything that isn’t military spending is a budget issue.
Your point is incorrect. It is not needlessly complicated. It has to do with mainframe batch processing times.
It’s not a conspiracy, it is a technical challenge that is not easy to some. It is complicated, but not needlessly. If it was easy, it would have been fixed.
I am sure there are a number of private companies that do the same but simply don’t tell you.
E.g., every bank has a cut off time for transfers, same reason.
There is a reason and not what you think.
